The Referral process for the new agency and all existing telephone numbers will remain unchanged during this transition.

With its head office in Kingston, client service sites will be maintained in Amherstview, Kingston, Napanee, Northbrook, Sharbot Lake and Verona.

The long-standing close working relationship between our agencies will ensure a seamless transition. AMHS-KFLA will have one Board of Directors and a Founding CEO – yet to be recruited – supported by the existing leadership team and 250 highly-qualified staff. Marion Wright will be Interim CEO.

The South East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) has worked on the redesign of addiction and mental health services for over two years in close consultation with our agencies, clients, caregivers and other community partners, focusing on access to services, improved client flow and efficiencies. Similar integrations are taking place among other agencies in South Eastern Ontario.

This new system will enhance how we provide quality, client-centered services. Together with the South East LHIN, we are committed to no interruptions or reductions in service, and continuing to provide the best possible supports to our community.

Regular updates will be provided through email and information posted on our website as we move through this time of transition.
